Solar Color Title
Solextra® Glass and Solextra® Privacy Glass
People don't describe their dream vehicles in terms of compression ratios or cubic feet of cargo space. They use words like fun. Or impressive. Or full of soul. They want their vehicles to be a reflection of their personality. And we can give you the automotive glass technology to do just that. Like beautiful blue Solextra vision and privacy glasses. Together, these two can give your designs a distinctive elegance that begs to be looked at. And the kind of solar control that you'll definitely want to look into.
Solextra® Vision Glass
Solextra® glass is an advanced composition specialty glass formulated to manage the solar spectrum and absorb more infrared (IR) energy than any other uncoated automotive composition vision glass. The distinctive aquamarine color of Solextra® glass is the direct result of the change in chemistry for solar control performance.
